I'm in Chennai for a couple of days and am looking for some good shooting locations. I have all my gear with me, and a couple of types of different films - and even some free time between my actual work appointments.
I find it difficult here to shoot. You can't take pictures in the temples. I've been to some of the markets - that was okay, but other than that it difficult find interesting shots. On the streets themselves there is far to much motion for decent RF photography.
Any tips?

If you have a chance (and access to a car), head down to Mamallapuram -- great place and lots to photograph!
Viel Spaß !

Mike - many thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go out that far. It looks cool though.

Hi Peter,
Please go to the central railways station. On the left of the station is a Moore market building, it is a scrapyard/flea market. Might be interesting there. The other option is to go to the the "*** bazaar" flower market, you might find that giving interesting opportunities.
My personal view is that in India, for street work, 50mm works best. Difficult to harmonize so many aspects within a mildly wide frame. The other option is to use an ultra-wide to capture different flavors of the chaos in its entirety.
Hope that helps,
Sumanta

Sumanta - many thanks.
I'll try the 50; I was thinking the same thing. I was out with an 85 which was too long: just as you focus somebody steps in front of you. And was out with a 35, which almost too wide.
